Day Habilitation Activities

The activities at the Day Habilitation program focus heavily on developing socially appropriate behaviors, communication skills, and personal and health care competency. In addition, we work on building daily living skills, including housekeeping, computer skills training, basic safety and money management, among others.

Our program also incorporates our values of improving physical fitness with regular outings to the New York City Parks and Recreational Centers, bowling and outdoor activities such as hiking, gardening, fishing and picnicking. Day Habilitation activities include a wide variety of community involvement ranging from educational and cultural outings to a successful volunteer program where participants “give back” to their community by providing services to other not-for-profit organizations.

A “typical day” in Iyaho Social Services Day Habilitation Program is fictional. Each person’s day will be planned based on his/her individual needs and interests. Daily activities may include computer work, exercise, gardening, shopping, volunteering, and job skill development to name a few. Each day brings new experiences and opportunities for growth, increased independence and integration.
